well your friend is no friend if he's lying to you. tell your friend that the poeple he's gossiping about are friends and that you don't want to hear it.

If the person lies to you and gossips about people close to you, he is NOT your friend. He is only using you for his own reasons.
Personally, I would stop hanging around someone like that. If for some reason you want to still hang around this person, remember you cannot change him, all you can do is tell him you will not tolerate being lied to and having him gossip around you. If he continues, he has already made his choice what he prefers. Stop being with him.

Turn a deaf ear on him, tell him you don't appreciate hearing gossip about people you're close to, or better yet, just find yourself a different friend. With friends like that, you don't need enemies. People who gossip to you about others, most likely will gossip about you to others, as well.

♥ This is a tough question. Your friend sounds like he is untrustworthy because he lies to you and he gossips about other people. That is a bad thing in a friendship. Who knows he might be gossiping about you behind your back. Either stop being friends with him or talk to him and say you want to be friends but don't want to apart of gossiping. You also need to tell him to stop lying

What does he bring to your friendship? Are his lies about you, other ppl you're close to or just lies in general? Alot of ppl lie for attention by making up stupid stuff about themselves to make themselves feel more important and altho it's still wrong and unnecessary, these lies aren't meant to hurt you. If this is the case, talk to him and tell him it's unacceptable to you if he wants to be friends w/you. If it's not like this and he's just being an a s s then get rid of him, before he causes a rift between you and your other friends.

Why is this person your friend if he lies to you and gossips to you about people who are close to you? Tell him that you don't want to hear lies and that you don't want to hear gossip, and if he continues to do that, you will no longer be his friend. And be sure to follow through on your threat.

If this "friend" gossips about others when they are not around, who knows what he's saying about you when your not around. Stop hanging around him and find someone else to be friends with.

I thought women gossip? Call him a woman, and tell him to grow up!!!!
It's good that you realize that gossiping is a bad thing. If all else fails, find a new friend.

Sounds like the kind of person you hang around with just so you can feel superior. Or do you owe him money? There are only two things you can do - one, stop talking to him, and two, tell everybody else not to tell him anything they don't want everyone to know.
